- Jointly Announced by Stanford University and Elsevier, a Global Leader in Science, Technology, and Medicine Publishing -

Eighteen professors from our university have been selected among the world's top 2% scientists by Stanford University and Elsevier.

The "World Top 2% Scientists" list identifies researchers from around the world who have published at least five papers across 22 scientific fields and 174 subfields. The final selection is based on their impact, determined by citation metrics provided by the Scopus database, a leading index for high-quality academic papers.

This year, Kwangwoon University had eight researchers listed among the top 2% based on lifetime achievements. These include Professor Taekyun Kim (Department of Mathematics), Professor Hwanseop Eom (Visiting Professor at PBRC), Professor Min Jang (Department of Environmental Engineering), Professor Myeonju Park (Department of Electronics Convergence Engineering), Professor Younghoon Kim (Department of Chemical Engineering), Professor Eunha Choi (Department of Electrical & Biological Physics), Professor Sangshin Lee (Department of Electronic Engineering), and researcher Omar (Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Electronic Engineering).

As of 2023, a total of 16 researchers from Kwangwoon University were included among the world's top 2% scientists. They are Professor Taekyun Kim (Department of Mathematics), Professor Jaeyoung Park (Department of Electronic Engineering), Professor Koduru (Department of Environmental Engineering), Professor Min Jang (Department of Environmental Engineering), Professor Eunsung Cho (Division of Business Administration), Professor Najendra (Department of Electrical & Biological Physics), Professor Eunha Choi (Department of Electrical & Biological Physics), Professor Youngjin Sa (Department of Chemistry), Professor Hwanseop Eom (Visiting Professor at PBRC), Professor Taejun Ha (Department of Electronic Materials Engineering), Professor Taek Lee (Department of Chemical Engineering), Professor Namyoung Kim (Department of Electronic Engineering), Professor Sangshin Lee (Department of Electronic Engineering), Professor Hyungeun Lee (Department of Mathematics), researcher Lingamdinne (Department of Environmental Engineering), and researcher Omar (Department of Electronic Engineering).

Among them, Professor Taekyun Kim (Department of Mathematics), Professor Hwanseop Eom (Visiting Professor at PBRC), Professor Min Jang (Department of Environmental Engineering), Professor Eunha Choi (Department of Electrical & Biological Physics), Professor Sangshin Lee (Department of Electronic Engineering), and researcher Omar (Department of Electronic Engineering) were included in both criteria, bringing the total to 18 researchers from our university listed in the "World's Top 2% Scientists." This once again demonstrates the exceptional research capabilities of our university.

The list of the top 2% scientists in various academic fields, announced by Elsevier and Stanford University based on global research competitiveness, was released in October.
